Forgive me if I was ambiguous, but the original poster reported receiving a 
copy of Turbo C 1.0 for Christmas, which is definitely after the date Borland
was shipping version 1.5.  Almost all reputable software companies will provide
a free upgrade when an old version is accidentally received while a new version
is shipping.  If they would not, I would take advantage of the money-back
guarantee and return the product for a refund, and purchase another company's
compiler.

If your compiler fits this description, I'd contact Borland.
